    About Me

    I design and write software for a Research and Development non-profit organization. I have one son, 13, and two dogs and one cat. I was married for 21 years (minus two days). Date Married: 07/11/1987. Date of Divorce 07/08/2008. Ex moved out in April at my request. I decided that I was done putting up with his betrayals. We have one child, a son. He is 13. He live with me. His dad lives .5 miles away in an apartment. My story is, my ex had affairs, and one long-term mistress with whom he had two other children. He didn't want the divorce, why would he? But he agreed to whatever I asked. He wouldn't even discuss anything, so I did it all, and he just signed. I tried to be fair and equitable in the split. I was the primary financial support the the entire marriage, and the only financial support for probably 25% of it. I try to be as flexible and agreeable as possible with regard to custody. He is still coming around and doing things around the house. If I had to guess, I'd say he is hoping to reconcile. But at this point I have to concede that I know nothing about him.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      I found out my husband of 20 years had been cheating on me throughout our marriage, and had two children with another woman. I put him through school 20 years ago, and supported him for two years while he got a nursing degree. Two days after he FINALLY got a job was when I found out about the other woman and kids. I'm divorcing him, meanwhile all he can say is he is sorry. It is so inadequate.
